About this business

Many Seattle visitors miss treasures in out-of-the-way West Seattle. Not least among these is this little steak house called Jak's Grill. Limited seating doesn't stop guests from putting their names on the waiting list. The decor is characterized by dark woods and dim lights. There are five top-grade steaks on the menu, from Filet Mignon to Porterhouse au Poivre. You will also find a selection of seafood, chicken and pork. A huge meal here should cost less than $20. There is also a bar in the back.

Great Food, LONG wait for a table – Just moved here and I've asked around about where I could get a good steak, Jak's was always in the top 5. Though, I was warned to get there early and put my name on the list. Little did I know, that when I arrived at 6:30, thinking I'd get a table at 7:00 or 7:30 at the latest, that there was a 2 1/2 hour wait. But, it was well worth it. The ambience was excellent, dimly lit, with wood paneling all over. My DelMonico was excellent and everyone wish they had gotten it instead! Service was ... read more

trainman – I've been there 3 times; wish it were more. The food is great, service excellent, and I don't feel overwhelmed, as I sometimes do at the more expensive steak joints.

Almost too good to be true – Jak's is truly one of those rare finds - an inexpensive restaurant that consistently serves incredibly tasty food, has a friendly waitstaff, and great bar service. the amount of food they serve you is criminal - they will stuff you silly! salad, baked potato the size of your head, huge steak, yum. worth every penny and every minute of waiting.

JaK's – By far the best steaks and you can't beat the price. The staff is friendly and attentive. The only place they could improve would be a larger waiting area, since they don't take reservations.

Best steak in area.... – I have eaten here at least 20 times and I always get a great steak with great service. You might have to wait, there is always a crowd, but well worth it.

The best for less – Great food, no downtown parking hassle and less money than the "name brand" steakhouses. In fact, I'd say the food is better than the places with more recognizable names.

among the best – I travel continually with my job, and I love to visit the great steak houses accross the country. One of those steak houses is located right here in our own backyard...it's called JaK's. If you like the Met, Ruth's Chris, Morton's, or El Gaucho - but have not tried JaK's - then you are missing out on one of the best kept secrets in Seattle (and the Eastside.) Try the filet - you won't be disappointed.

Juicy and tender – I happened to stumble upon Jak's Grill, looking for a restaurant to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. I've tried both of their salads, vinegrette and blue cheese. They were soooo tasty! I usually get their daily special, and they haven't disappointed me even once. They sure give you plenty of food for such a reasonable price.

The Secret Place! – Jak's Grill is one of the best! My husband and I could not decide on a recent visit, which one was our favorite that we had ordered...filet Mignon or Salmon? We are still trying to decide! The atmosphere and service is awesome!! In fact, it has become so popular among the crowds from athletes to locals...you can not make a reservation, so be prepared to wait anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours!
